What the free combination vending machine program includes
Everything needed to get a combination vending machine working on your site is covered. You provide the floor space and a power point; we provide the machine and the ongoing service.
Combination machines are the most requested machine in our free program because one unit covers the whole tea room. You get the snack range and the cold drink range without giving up two metres of wall space or paying for two installs.
- Machine supply, delivery and installation at no cost
- Restocking scheduled from real sales data, not a fixed roster
- Breakdown attendance, parts and preventative servicing included
- Cash, card and mobile payment acceptance fitted as standard
- No contract, no rental and no minimum term — the machine can be removed on request
Products your free combination vending machine can stock
A free combination vending machine is loaded with chilled cans and bottles in the lower section, with chips, chocolate, muesli bars and snacks on the spiral trays above. Before the machine goes in we run a short planogram consultation so the selections match what your people actually buy.
The range is reviewed after the first few restocks. Slow lines are swapped out, popular lines get more facings, and you can request healthier options or remove specific products at any time.
Where free combination vending machines work best
This machine suits workplaces of roughly 20 to 120 people that want snacks and cold drinks from a single machine and a single footprint. Capacity is typically 30 to 45 selections across snack and drink trays, holding around 300 to 500 items before a restock is due.
If your site is smaller or the traffic is seasonal, we may recommend a different machine or a combination unit instead. We would rather place the right machine than pull an underperforming one out three months later.

Frequently asked questions
Is a free vending machine really free?
Yes. There is no purchase price, no rental, no service fee and no lock-in contract. We own the machine, deliver it, install it, stock it and service it. Our return comes from the products sold, so staff simply pay normal retail prices at the machine.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in under an hour once the site is approved. You need a standard 10 amp power point within about two metres and a level floor with clear access.
Who restocks and repairs the machine?
We do. Restocking frequency is based on your machine's telemetry and sales history, and breakdown attendance is included at no cost to the site.
How many people does a combination vending machine suit?
As a rule of thumb, a combo comfortably serves 20 to 120 people on site. Above that, most locations move to a separate drink machine and snack machine so popular lines do not sell out mid-week.
Can a combination machine hold 600 ml bottles and cans together?
Yes. The drink section is set up with adjustable spirals or shelves so 375 ml cans, 600 ml bottles and 500 ml sports drinks can run in the same machine.
